Yes, but across the pond, we believe in the accuser show some reasonable evidence that there is a crime and person x was involved before throwing the full weight of the state behind it. This is for the protection of people from unreasonable (and expensive) prosecution. I see no reason to throw that safeguard out the window for "ease of conviction".
